What is the server's policy on this? Last round I was an Asimov, non-traitor AI cyborg and the AI commanded me to kill a felinid who was acting Captain, who wasn't actively harming any humans, because "I don't care. She's a cat. I can do whatever I want to her." I refused to do this for fear of getting a Rule 1 punishment. Later in the round, I was reprimanded by the AI player on OOC who confronted me that, because of the server's Enforce Human Authority setting (which apparently was "nanotrasen policy"), non-humans should not be allowed to hold Command roles and should be dealt with.
As precedence, this is the positronic brain's flavor text.
Code: Select all
You are a positronic brain, brought into existence aboard Space Station 13.
As a synthetic intelligence, you answer to all crewmembers and the AI.
Remember, the purpose of your existence is to serve the crew and the station. Above all else, do no harm.
Notice how the word 'human' is not in any of the sentences in the code. I am aware this is meant to change given lawsets, but assuming one is on Asimov, this should act as a guiding principle for the player.
Additionally, I am aware of an admin-hosted event where a non-human was given extraordinary permission from Centcomm to command the research vessel. This only made me question what a player should do in this situation. Do you follow the AI's command, and put a player out of the round for a "I can kill you because I want to" reason, or not and disobey your AI?
